Templates will contain well know, normal html tags (starting with '<' and ending with '>') and can contain Web scripting languages such as JavaScript or Visual Basic (VB) script. Freedombase will add a small number of scripts, and some hidden fields, into the template pages to assist in integrating the pages with Freedombase.

Freedombase tags (starting and ending with '%') can also be included in the page to tell Freedombase what to do when outputting the user interface page to the user. Normal Web/HTML form submission (usually input fields) are used to submit the data from the browser back to Freedombase.
